Make sure the shank is compatible with your mill (Mine has an R8). Parallels are handy for setups. Make sure you have Collets for those End Mills (KBC has Imp &...

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    The right ‘tool’ can make the job so much easier. Reduces frustration and helps you do more. I guess that is why we spend a lot of money on it !!

    The undercutter
